Diverse Tourney RD TWO
 

Thought I'd get the thread started.

This round will be for those voting "small" on the poll.

Tiny map: 400 x 640
July 1942 (date not firm)
Weather- not set. Not sure yet if "any" would help or hinder this small one.
Turns: 30
Points: less than 1000, only Infantry / Support / Vehicles.
Type: Urban brawl (sort of!)
A lot of objectives.
Again- ME with Attack & Defend.

Edit- teams will select their own forces in the tourney!

Let the discussions begin.

...airborne troops....

The most important thing is balance in short range urban fighting. I'm sure it will be enjoyable provided that not just one side is stocked with vet or better SMG and engineer squads.

You know--the urban version of a POS tank pack.

Great point-
So, based on the restrictions (Inf/Support/Vehicles only & rough date of 7/'42) some guidelines need to be set for purchases. Those in the "know" or have insite into this please comment on what we should follow.

I'd like them to allow for as many different purchase options for each team as possibile so the "enemy" won't know for certain what's inside that next building or woods area.

I'm down to tweaking the map, when finished I'll send it to the team Captains for some early recon!

When we have the "facts down" we could start Rd 2 as soon as everyone is ready.

How about Romanians vs Hungarians?

...still waiting for Allied start of rnd 1

Sorry I'm running behind on it but I've already put in 85 hours this week and writing this from work. We are scrambling to get our crop in so this pace my last for another week. If I'm holding things up too much I can withdraw.

Not to worry, life comes first......

Rom vs. Hun?
I can make a scenario for that meeting if you want. (I always liked the "Battle of Minors" scenario on the CD.)

Or even a Rom vs. Rom- although the armor would have to be fudged to be even since the Romanians have nothing to speak of.

For this rounds map I think Ger vs. Sov with some Inf limitations will do best, just need someone who knows what to list some. (That or let the Axis players pick the Allies Inf!)

This can start as soon as the group is ready. (Unless someone has concerns with force balance/date.)

Map will then be sent to the Captains and players select their forces just as in round 1.


Round 2 “Capture the City”

Small map: 400 x 800

Weather- South, dry, cool, midday, clear, calm.
